The Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) and Senior Presidential Advisor for Special Operations, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has promoted the Director of the Police Criminal Investigations Directorate (CID), AIGP Maj Tom Rwabudongo Magambo to the rank of Acting Lieutenant Colonel.
The announcement was made by the UPDF Acting Director Defence Public Information, Col Chris Magezi in a post on his X account on Thursday.
“The UPDF fraternity congratulates Lieutenant Colonel Magambo for the well-deserved promotion and wish him continued success in his duties” he said.
In January 2022, President Yoweri Museveni promoted Magambo from the rank of private to Major and appointed him Director Criminal Investigations of the Uganda Police Force, replacing AIGP Grace Akullo.
Later on in April the same year, President Museveni further promoted him to the rank of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP), regularising him into the police force.
Prior to the appointment, Magambo served as the coordinator of the Eastern Africa Fusion and Liaison Unit (EA-FLU), a regional intelligence gathering centre based in Entebbe.
In May this year, the CID Director surprised many people, when he refused advice and requests to pause the high-profile corruption and money laundering probe against former Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, as he grieved the death of his 18-year-old son, Timothy Muganzi Magambo, who died in a swimming incident in New York, USA.
